Mark Dol

Mark oversees the management of ministries and staff at the parish and has been part of the team since August 2020.  His main role is to assist the pastor in the running of the parish from the practical side.  Mark has been a member of the St Mary Parish Community since 2013, and volunteered time in a variety of areas, especially in the liturgies as sacristan and with our live streaming setup to provide Mass for the Homebound.

Before coming to St Mary, Mark served at the Fr Bernard Youth center as Director and Facilities Manager, and in his first years in the USA, he served in the Santiam Vicariate as Director of Youth Ministry. 

Mark is a Chef by trade, and after working in his homeland of New Zealand for a number of years, he joined a Catholic Lay Mission (the Institute for World Evangelization-ICPE Mission), where he has served with his wife for over 30 years, in Germany, Italy, and Malta before being sent out to Oregon to pioneer a branch of their Mission organization here.  Mark is married to Patricia and they have a grown son, Joshua who is currently serving as an Officer in the United States Air Force.
